Currently this is non-trivial, but possible. You will have to unload
the project from monodevelop, then find the widget's element in the
source project's gtk-gui/gui.stetic file (don't worry, it's XML, so
not too painful) and copy it and its contents to the target's
gtk-gui/gui.stetic file. When you re-open the project and try to open
the widget (from the "user interface" virtual folder) you will be
asked what class you would like to associate it with.
Hopefully we will be moving to a "one widget per file" model, with
each widget in a visible file, with the associated code files groupeds
as its children. You will then be able to copy the whole group between
projects:

This will bring the development model more in line with that of
ASP.NET, XAML and Winforms.
